Colin Netherlands

Great hotel. Good service, location. Extensive breakfast options. Lovely view.

C Netherlands

The breakfast was very nice, the garden view is unique, but twice the waitress would forget to bring you something that you have ordered. The room service was nice too, we didn’t like only one dish. As well as the outdoor bar was great. The location of the hotel is just perfect! The staff is very kind and helpful!

Kateryna Netherlands

Love, love and loved everything about this hotel and our stay. The staff take all measures to keep up with corona measures. Felt safe and comfortable at all times. Service is top notch and how it used to be in 5 star hotels. Worth the price as you feel like royalty. Great location, steps away from everything. Great hospitality amd most importantly felt it was super clean and safe place to stay. Would come again and recommend to others! What a gem of a place!
